[Verse 1]
Di tengah banyaknya bintang di langit
Bintang manakah yang paling
Memancarkan sinar terang?
Meski ditanya
Siapa pun tidak akan bisa menjawabnya
Dibalik kegelapan pun
Ada cahaya yang tidak nampak dari sini

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Terus berjuang tak kenal lelah
Di sudut panggung itu
Kepedihan dan kehampaan yang
Mengisi masa muda

[Chorus 1]
Gadis remaja
Fajar 'kan segera tiba
Masa depan, impian sekarang akan dimulai
Gadis remaja
Jangan pernah engkau menyerah
Singkirkanlah segala kesedihan di hati
Berlarilah! Berlarilah!
Sekuat tenaga!

[Verse 2]
Bintang yang terbentang di depan mata
Dan yang tidak disadari
Apakah perbedaan di antara mereka
Jaraknya terlalu jauh sehingga
Cahayanya pun tak sampai
Ataukah terhalang awan?
Ku inginkan jawaban

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Tak mampu jalani kehidupan ini
Berbeda dengan mimpi
Bila frustasi juga khawatir
Melangkahlah ke depan

[Chorus 2]
Di saat kau bimbang
Tanpa sadar 'kan menjadi kuat
Air mata 'kan jadi kekuatan esok hari
Di saat kau bimbang
Melangkah majulah ke depan
Jika engkau berhenti semua berakhir
Semangatlah! Berjuanglah!
Percayalah!

[Interlude]

[Chorus 1]
Gadis remaja
Fajar 'kan segera tiba
Masa depan, impian sekarang akan dimulai
Gadis remaja
Jangan pernah engkau menyerah
Singkirkanlah segala kesedihan di hati
Berlarilah! Berlarilah!
Sekuat tenaga!

JKT48 is an Indonesian idol group whose name is derived from its based city of Jakarta and the Japanese idol group AKB48. Formed in 2011, it is the first AKB48 sister group outside Japan and adopts the concept of “idols you can meet”. Fans can attend daily performances at the group’s theater, which was built as a close replica to the AKB48 Theater in Akihabara.

Producer Yasushi Akimoto decided to bring the AKB48 concept to Indonesia because the group had begun to develop a fan base in the country. Indonesia’s growing economy was seen as a potential market by many Japanese companies, and Akimoto established a franchising partnership with Dentsu Media Group Indonesia to replicate the AKB48 business model. Dentsu Media Group Indonesia then cooperate with the country’s largest media conglomerate Global Mediacom (MNC Media), the southeast Asia’s largest and most integrated media group as JKT48 official media partner.

While JKT48 does not restrict membership by nationality, applicants must be residents of Indonesia. The group has 72 (as of June 2014) members and released its first studio album Heavy Rotation on 16 February 2013 via Hits Records, a division of MNC subsidiary PT Star Media Nusantara. It performs songs by AKB48 and other sister groups that are translated into Indonesian.
